The tweetings of Brian Stanley
A Shinner from Laois/Offaly
Have caused some dismay
But they’ve all gone away
So don’t worry, there’s nothing to see

Homophobe Hungarian MEP József Szájer (above), of the right-wing Fidesz party, participated in a “gay orgy” in Brussels prompting accusations of hypocrisy

Because József failed to get away
From the raid on the romp on Friday
Fidesz took the line
That he had to resign
But they still won’t admit that he’s gay

A Chinese probe sent to the moon to bring back lunar samples has successfully landed, according to Beijing’s space agency.

This may come as a bit of a shock
But the Chinese have been taking stock
And it looks like quite soon
They will go to the moon
To make sure they don’t run out of rock

The Late Late Show host Ryan Tubridy has denied using the ‘F-word’ during last Friday’s Toy Show

While working with kids be aware
Of the one golden rule:
Make sure you keep your cool
And as well as that don’t fucking swear

The medical boffins agreed
That the numbers were not what they need
To let us run free
Now the government see
That before long they might have to lead

 Ryan Tubridy on the set of this year’s The Late Late Toy Show

Let’s face it, there’s nowhere to go
But the sofa this evening and so
Let’s all just agree
To turn on the TV
And endure it: The Late Late Toy Show

Poet Ted Hughes (above) was wrongly included among a British Library list of artists whose collections were associated with wealth obtained from colonial violence

A library that tried to accuse
The late Poet Laureate Hughes
Of having wealth made
From the evil slave trade
Picked a fight that it seems it will lose

Minister for Agriculture, Charlie McConalogue said he will work hard to ensure there is no Brexit ban on a wide range of foods moving between the UK and Ireland, including sausages

Now Charlie has made an appeal
To the Brits for a last minute deal
Or the Ulster fry
Could be left high and dry
With no sausages for this great meal

The American General Services Administration has declared Joe Biden the apparent winner of the US election while President Trump says he will continues to pursue legal avenues to victory

I think that we’re starting to see
That Trump is about to agree
There’s no way he can win
So it’s time to begin
To shred all his papers and flee

Under new rona restrictions plans, it is thought unlikely that ‘wet pubs’ will be allowed to open

Some people in government feel
That we’re all due a substantial meal
But wet pubs won’t be seen
Until there’s a vaccine
We’re not yet free of this ordeal
